Hi,
what is the recommended tracking force on a Thorensgram 3000 with a SP12?
+ have any of you replaced the spring that goes from the black ring on the tonearm? If so, what did you use? In my infinite wisdom I mislaid the one on mine and I'm at a complete loss as for what to use. I know, I had no business taking it off in the first place.

Officially 1.2 g but tune it by ear.
The spring is what generates the down force - see here

Finding a new spring could prove interesting! You could ask Frede as he restores these decks. He did mine and it is brilliant!

Cheers!
And yes, sourcing a replacement spring should be ..fun.
Frede at Classic Audio will have one.
